Pain
It often comes in the dead of the night
Against it we constantly struggle and fight
It tries to find us when we think we are most alone
Having this deafening silence, without a tone
It's the heart wrenching pain of the past
It comes ripping and tearing at us fast
It tries so hard to be there long and last
It's the pain we try everyday to conceal
And everytime with it we deal
We know it's there and so very real
For now we have only to endure
Only in Jehovah can we be sure
Rely constantly on the strength he provides
Always doing out best, especially when the pain subsides
